MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION
SUBJECT: Approval of Assignment of Targeted Local Market Supplement Work Role Codes
1. References. See Enclosure 1.
2. Purpose. To provide guidance on the assignment of DoD Cyber Workforce Framework
(DCWF) work role codes that result in the payment of Targeted Local Market Supplement
(TLMS) to Cyber Excepted Service (CES) employees.
3. Applicability. Per AR 25-2, para 2-7, the Army Chief Information Officer (CIO), on behalf
of the Secretary of the Army, establishes policy, resourcing, and oversight of the Army
Cybersecurity Program. This policy memorandum meets provisions outlined in AR 25-2,
para 1-8, where the Army CIO, when needed, will issue policy memoranda to amplify guidance
for the policies in AR 25-2.
4. Background.
a. CES is a civilian excepted alternative personnel system for cyber positions that meet the
CES inclusion criteria and are designated by the Department of Defense (DoD) CIO in
consultation with the USD (P&R), the USD(P), and the DoD component heads.
b. A CES position is a designated position in which the employee occupying such position
performs, manages, supervises, or supports functions necessary to execute the responsibilities of
the United States Cyber Command, pursuant to Section 1599f of Title 10, USC.
c. TLMS is a Targeted Local Market Supplement that DoD can elect to implement when it
determines it is warranted under market conditions. A TLMS may be established for positions in
specified local market areas (or worksites) that cross established locality area boundaries and in
specific occupational categories or specializations to ensure that qualified employees can be
hired and retained. They are established as additions to CES pay in response to labor market
conditions that are not fully addressed by the CES pay grade rates Local Market Supplements.
5. Guidance.
a. Every CES employee must be assigned a cyber workforce work role code. The first work
role code assigned to a CES employee is the primary work role. The primary work role code
identifies the work role that includes the majority of a position’s responsibilities and its most

significant requirement (e.g., the most time-consuming requirement). Second and third work
roles are called additional work roles. No prioritization is required for additional work roles.
Please see the DCWF Workforce Identification & Coding Guide for instances where the work
role code should remain blank if there is not a primary, secondary, or tertiary code associated
with the position.
b. Only the primary work role dictates eligibility for TLMS. If a coded billet would result in
the payment of TLMS, approval to assign the applicable work role code must be reviewed and
approved by the first General Office/Senior Executive Service member in the chain of command.
A copy of approval will be provided to the local CHRA Service Center to coordinate the update
of the work role code in HR personnel systems and ensure appropriate personnel actions.
Approvals should be maintained and available for audit at the unit requesting the assignment of
the work role code.
c. DoD will identify cyber work role codes eligible for TLMS based on the recommendation
of the Cyber Workforce Management Board (CWMB).
(1) Supervisors and executive leadership should remain aware of work role codes that are
deemed eligible as the list is occasionally expanded.
(2) Once DoD deems a work role code TLMS-eligible, neither HQDA nor individual
commands have the ability to not pay TLMS. It is not an optional incentive and must be
provided to all personnel who have an associated primary work role code that is TLMS-eligible.
d. The payment of TLMS is a cost borne from the civilian pay account, and thus impacts the
Army budget. The cost has the potential to become significant over time as the number of CES-
eligible employees increases through attrition of General Schedule employees who elected not to
transition, along with an increase in the number of eligible work role codes.
e. This policy is applicable to all future billets that are assigned to receive.
(1) TLMS reviews will be completed NLT 90 days after the date of signature of this
memo. The approval memo (see the sample at Enclosure 2) will be placed in the employee’s
record (e.g., eOPF).
(2) Organizations will contact their local CHRA Service Center to coordinate the update
of work role codes in HR personnel systems and ensure appropriate personnel actions are
processed to stop TLMS when appropriate.
